"I Missed His Code, but I Read His Name"

Though coders are a dreadful clan
To be avoided if you can,
I'd like to meet the Indian,
Seetharaman Narayanan.

I picture him a Star Trek Fan.
A game-wiz on a wireless LAN
I'd say, with admirable elan,
"O hai thair Narayanan,

I can has SeeEss3 plz, and
Mebbe we can browze CPAN?
And has you seen mah bukkit, man?"
Then my dear friend Narayanan

Would seat me on a lush divan,
And read his name, that sumptuous span
Of words equal to or greater than
"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan."

We'd be great friends on Facebook, and
Spend hours watching Wrath of Khan,
Eating pizza from a deep dish pan.
I count myself his greatest fan.

Oh how I <3 Narayanan!!
